350 chevy blows up after full rebuild. First start

350 chev motor blows up after full rebuild
cause to the motor throwing a rod was because 1 main cap bold was not torqued and had come loose
Yes there was oil on the lifers but not as much as there should have been
and no this was not the first motor to be built, was about no:436 have now done just shy of 550, and we always video the first starts in case this happens lol
enjoy the vid subscribe share and like for more

The fact this wasn't spraying oil all over the shop with the valve covers off should have been an instant hint to shut down.

[ryanclark]

Bill, don’t add the oil. That shit makes a huge mess when we run the engine with the valve covers off.

[williamdesmarais]

I love how the oil makes a cameo appearance at the end.👍

[timepperson]

This guy is a riot
Not a drop of oil squirting from the push rods and rockers but keeps it running
Here's your sign

[dougdavis]

Must've been a good build. It ran for an amazingly long time with no oil!

[brando]

Gotta love it when your engine spits out a part number so you know what to re-order lol

Last rebuild I did was on an old BOP215. I was able to get to the oil pump through the distributor tube and work it with a power drill. Before even starting the engine I had oil working it's way up to the rockers. The fact that these guys had the engine running for a while without even seeing any oil at the top is pretty concerning 😂

[stoneyswolf]

No oil getting to the rockers let's just keep reeving it it'll fix itself.

[TheHeroPercy]

The quiet “fuck” 2 seconds after it blows really puts the icing on the cake.

“What’s the oil pressure gauge say?” “Zero”? “rev her up.” 🤣🤣

[NEMOJA]

It's obvious if it failed because of the vertical filming

My auto mechanics teacher told us years ago. When doing jobs like this, that is a one-man job. Because when you do a job like that and there's more than one person working on a job things like this go wrong, because no one knows who did what. And we were always told when doing these kind of jobs to double-check and triple-check ourselves. You can never go wrong double checking yourself and when in doubt double check it again!

[jeffmartin]

If you are going to build an engine stand, you might want to include an oil pressure gauge and temp gauge.

[darwingortiz]

That coolant mixing with the oil did a hell of a job lubricating that engine all that time.

[Saltinator]

GREAT JOB GUYS! Not seeing oil sling off the rockers was your first sign 🤦🏼‍♂️

[rosco]

The fact that those headers aren't smoking due to oil running all down them should have been a hint.

My dad always said, when building an engine be Santa Claus. Make a list and check it twice.
